What did you guys do?? I feel like waiting would be ideal but for peace of mind I kind of want to start today??

Completely my fault. Got off my iud a couple months ago and had unprotected sex. I took a plan b immediately but Jesus Christ I’m scared

Just venting or looking for support I guess. I have no one to confide in this about so I’m just bottling up all emotions

When something bad happens it’s like I can feel myself sad obviously but then the decreased sleep starts. The obsessing. The hyper fixating. Etc

Pretty much where I’m at currently. Running on about 2 hours of sleep over 2 days and not feeling tired. I’m sad but I’m also wired

I’m also going through medication trials so that’s not helping. I’m coming off of sertraline. Trying Wellbutrin and possibly starting lithium- also got off my hormonal iud so theres a lot going on right now but I feel like an empty hollow cracked out loser rn

Were the side effects generally tolerable? I know it can be quite stimulating and I’m not stranger to that feeling. Anything else I should have aware of? Or should I wait til an off day?

Currently on 59mg of sertraline.

My provider is wanting to take me off SSRIS and go down the mood stabilizer or SGA route.

Lamictal is not an option as I’ve reacted poorly to it in the past

-lithium. Gold standard, I’m sure it could be promising but the blood draw compliance is a concern of mine

-trileptal. Studies largely do not support med effectiveness pertaining to bipolar 2.

-caplyta. Seems to have many negative side effects. Newer drug

-abilify- also has a lot of negative side effects and scared it may push me into hypomania/ mania

Psych nurse here. I’ve seen a lot of discussion here pertaining to lack of sufficient evidence that this med is beneficial for bipolar 2?? Agree? Disagree? Why would one opt to prescribe this considering the studies? Curious for professional and personal reasons.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion here pertaining to lack of sufficient evidence that this med is beneficial for bipolar 2?? Agree? Disagree? Is it more beneficial when used with another med like an ssri??? Curious for professional and personal reasons.

Anyone on this with success??? The studies regarding this med pertaining to bipolar extremely weak?
